South America started the casual-chic trend of Olguitas. These are a versatile take on flip-flops but with more style. They sleekly hug the ankles with a seamless stretch of cotton to keep the soles as comfortable as possible. South America wore these Olguitas with high-waisted shorts or a sun dress.
Brazil's fashion industry has been rapidly increasing throughout the year. Their style is full of vibrant colors. Lace dresses are also a growing style in Brazil and other places in South America. Finally, the Brazilian label Melissa has made eco-footwear famous, selling more than 25 million pairs of plastic shoes around the world which are 100 percent recyclable. Notice how unique and colorful these shoes look:
Another designer, Marcia Ganem, was born in El Salvador and makes designs out of polyamide fibre taken from used car tires and seat belts. Ganem's designs are sold in the UK. Singers in the United States such as Alicia Keys and Janet Jackson are fans of Ganem.
Martha Medeiros creates lace dresses which are seen on the queen or Rio de Janeiro carnival every year and are also growing in popularity in Britain.
In Buenos Aires they love to wear cinched shirtdresses and brimmed hats. The South American style is very eclectic with elements of African, Indian, and native Brazilian mixed together. Designers make the most of the nation's long traditions of artisanship particularly in the fields of crocheting, patchwork and intricate leatherworking.
